Work Update

Hey everyone

The video that I am making for Pamoja is coming along really well. Over the last couple of days I have been collecting all of the props that I need for the filming, I have also collected all of the camera accessories I am going to need, such as the boom, the tripod kinda thing. All that I need to do before I can begin filming is I have to talk to Jeremy about the script. Jeremy has been in meetings with Sig and Jacob who just got back from the USA on saturday so I have also starting to work on a music video for a Maasi song while Jeremy has been occupied.

Thanks for the support and the prayers,

Life Update

Hey everybody!

As many of you may know I have been spending a lot of my time here working on a video for Pamoja about how safe it is here. Yesterday I finished a rough story board for the video, Jeremy, Sig and I then went through the Story board and talked a lot about what improvements we could make to the video. Some things that we discussed were we can keep it under two minutes, and if we wanted anyone in the video to speak at all or have it as a silent video with just music, we decided to have a minimal amount of people talking. I am currently making the changes to the outline that we think will be beneficial to the video. I have found an actor that I met at the church that we go to here that is willing to do be the main character, he is only here till the end of next week and the he is back and forth from here and Maasi land. So I am trying to have the video ready to film by next week so we have a couple days too shoot. Also this weekend I set up a DVD menu for a Tanzanian engagement party which is very interesting, linked a slideshow to it and burnt it onto a disk for the couple. 

Thanks for the support and the prayers,

What I'm Doing

I have now finished the rough outline of the introduction video for Pamoja and I have started a rough storyboard. Today I am making a DVD of engagement pictures for one of the staff here, this is my first time using DVD Studio Pro and it seems like it is going to take some work to get to know. Sig and I have also been looking at the rough drafts for the Maasi music videos to see if what we would like changed about them. So all in all we have been pretty busy out here!

Thanks for your support and prayers,

My 1st Project

The first project that I will be working on is a introduction video for the Pamoja campus and some of the staff here. For close to a week now I have, with the help of Sig Feser and Jeremy Feser, been brainstorming some ideas on the best way to attempt this video and we are closing in on three ideas that we think are superior to the rest. My next step will be to decide on the one that I will actually create and start to lay out all of the workings for the film production of it.

Salama (Peace)
